This is interesting, Maureen! I usually read collections in order, but I'm curious to know why you don't, and does this apply to essays, too?:)

AWP was truly wonderful! Getting to meet and learn from other writers, catch up with friends, present on a panel, and spend time in community was just what I needed. #AWP2025

Had one of the most productive writing days I've had all year, then walked with friends to spend time out of my head and in the world. Both are equally important. #WritingCommunity
